As an aside..Comcast Sports Net carries the Bulls, Hawks, Cubs and Sox. The Hawks clincher over Vancouver was the most watched game involving ANY team in their history...that is pretty amazing.

I think it speaks volumes about the rest of the sports landscape in Chicago these days.

This includes the Sox winning the World Series, The Bulls taking the Celts to 7 games and two Cub Division winners

It's the old what have you done for me lately deal.

Sox is going to be 5 years removed from their championship this October, currently 6 games under .500 (understood still alot of basebalfl to be played)

Cubs 5 games under .500 and seem to have a ton of issuses

Bulls, can honestly say I haven't watched that much basketball in a while, but it just didn't seem like the Bulls generated that much as a buzz as far as being a sleeper team that could go deep into the playoffs. Besides, didn't they just fire their coach anyway?

I'm not saying they don't suck now, but there were some good teams in the past and that's why I was surprised to read about the ratings.
And yes, this is offically beat to death..(need an emicon for that)

The FlyGuys sure picked a HELL of a time to be playing their best ball of the year. Backs to the wall.

I still say, and many agree, that their best game of the series was game 3 when they lost 4-1. They outplayed them in every facet, except goaltending. Rask was standing on his head early on in the series, but looks pedestrian as of late.

Ouch, the Bruins blow a 3-0 lead and lose to the Flyers.

Yeah, every team sucks besides the Hawks, and even those little bitches turn it into a drama flick.
